Jaybird, this is beautiful. I love your use of internal rhyme - in phrases such as "main Maine friend" and "feel sad, feel mad and all alone." I'm glad your daughter helps bring you strength - as I'm sure you've done for her. Great poem.

I really like the sweet message of this. We can find strength in times of need in some unexpected places. We sometimes think that we have to be the source of strength all of the time. We then discover that we aren't superman and we lean on someone else's strength in the moment, diffusing our kryptonite. I enjoyed reading this Jaybird! Well done!

where wind, where snow and rain blow(s) cold. I think if you remove the S at the end of blow it will flow and sound better. Such a beautiful penning for your daughter and what an inspiration she must be. Well done. Only the one edit I would suggest. Thanks for sharing.

This is a great tribute to your daughter, Jaybird. Your lines flow smoothly with great rhymes. But it is your message that stands above. What a sweet & caring daughter with a heart of gold she is. Thanks for sharing. Jan

First, let me express my sincere condolences on the loss of your wife.
This is an absolutely beautiful tribute to your loving daughter. Having the support of our loved ones in times of deep sorrow is so very important. No matter how strong we are, we all need someone to lean on. I'm so glad to know your daughter was there for you.
Well-written with deep emotion. Good rhyming, structure and flow. Love the 'main Maine' reference in the opening line. I see no need to change anything here. Well done! God Bless!

Wow -- such a lovely tribute to your daughter and beautifully phrase testimony as to what she means to you! :) :) Your chosen rhyme scheme is soothing and unhindered and your rhymes themselves are spot on! :) In the last line, you need to choose a period or a hyphen, but not both. If you go with the hyphen, be sure to NOT capitalize the "s" in "she".
Wonderfully done and thank you for sharing!
